History & Origin

Joclynn restyles Jocelyn, whose roots lie in the name of the Gauts, a Germanic tribe; the Normans brought it to England as a male name before it became a woman's. The tighter spelling keeps the sound while updating the look.

It was never common in this form, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak in the mid-two-thousands. A girl named Joclynn then is still young, her name a modern spin on a revived classic.

Did you know? Jocelyn's turn-of-the-century revival produced a long list of respellings, and Joclynn - trimming the middle vowel - is one of the trimmer entries in that list.
